Duty Roster

During our regular season, the Club will call on the assistance of volunteer positions to help with the running of each event. To ensure each race runs smoothly and safely, up to a dozen people are required to “sit out” and undertake a variety of tasks such as water safety, road marshalling, registration and Junior Help. ​All roles are overseen by the allotted Race Captain.

During the season, each member will only be expected to attend one (1) duty position which would result in them missing a race. A list of our Duty positions, including job descriptions for each role is attached below:

In summary, please note that each Club member is expected to:​1. Volunteer for at least one race in the season by undertaking a rostered duty role2. Attend the race that you are rostered on to and help for the whole race3. Find a replacement if you cannot attend your rostered day (yes, it is your responsibility to find someone)4. Attend a make-up duty before you are allowed to race again (unless your “swapped” duty is rostered later in the season)5. Turn up @6.00am, report immediately to the race captain and sign on to the roster sheet at rego6. Attend the Duty Roster Briefing 5 mins prior to the race briefing to get final instructions from the Race Captain7. Stay to the end of the race and help pack up8. Smile and be helpful to your fellow club members9. Bring a pair of swimmers and towel in case a water safety person fails to show. We may need you to get wet!

To get yourself scheduled into the duty roster for season 2018/19, contact Kate Pensini at portmactriathlonclub@gmail.com once you’ve found yourself a date you can be available for. Keep checking back to make sure you don’t miss the day that you’re rostered on.

​For each season, our duty rules are clear. It is YOUR responsibility to know when you are on duty. At each race, the current duty roster will be posted up on the white board so that every member will be able to see who is on duty for upcoming events. You will not be eligible for championship points if you fail to do your duty or find a replacement. You will also not be eligible for Grade Champion titles at the end of the year if you miss your duty or fail to find a replacement.

If you are on duty please be ready to start at 6am

And yes, all volunteers get first dibs on the post-race refreshments too :)
